Installation
1. Mark a level line on the wall at 16” below bottom of hood.
2. Position the lower section of backsplash (flat part with flange on top) on the wall.
Center it side to side and mark the top and bottom holes. Remove the lower section from
the wall.
3. If installing onto drywall only and not onto studs, insert wall anchors (we recommend EZ
anchors) into the marked holes. If installing onto studs, attach screws without EZ anchors.
4. Attach lower section of backsplash to wall with screws provided.
5. Position upper section of backsplash by engaging its flange with the lower section. Push up
to fully engage flanges*, center it side to side and mark the location of the mounting holes.
Remove the upper section from drywall and install wall anchors into marked holes.
5b.If hood is already installed, attach wall anchors into the (3) holes from inside the hood at the
bottom. These are the holes which the upper section will line up with and mount to the wall.
6. Insert retaining clips and hinge clips to the upper section. The retaining clips go in the top
top two openings and the hinge clips go in the bottom four openings. (see diagram, page 4)
Fasten and tighten nuts to the clips on back of the upper section with the provided
hardware.
7. Attach upper section to wall with screws provided. If hood is already installed, Insert the top
2” lip of the upper section behind the bottom of the hood and line up the holes with the (3)
holes at the bottom of the hood. Insert screws into holes and fasten upper section to wall.
*note: in some installations, the flanges will not fully engage in the final install. This is fine
since the weight of the upper section will rest against the bottom section.

Installation

on the backsplash as shown in the left side shelf diagram.
2. For the spice rack option; attach shelf to hinge clips, as

Cleaning and Contact Information
Cleaning of the backsplash should be done frequently to preserve the
life of the stainless steel. Cleaning should typically be done once or
twice a month depending on your cooking habits.
When cleaning, use a non abrasive cleaner, do not use “orange”
cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch the surface and discolor the
stainless steel. To clean the wire racks, soak them in soapy water.
DO NOT place in a dishwasher as this may discolor the wire racks.
You may also polish the stainless steel by using stainless steel polish.
Make sure when polishing to go along with the grain of the backsplash.
